ICND1 - Interconnecting Cisco Network Devices 1
Who Needs to Attend
If you are new to IT, need a good understanding of networking for management or sales responsibilities, or are starting along the path towards CCNA certification, this is the right course for you.
Prerequisites
An understanding of networking concepts, as found in our Understanding Networking Fundamentals course, will help you get the most from this course.
Follow-On Courses
We recommend that you follow this course with ICND2. The two classes together are the most comprehensive path to prepare for your CCNA certification.
Certification Programs and Certificate Tracks
This course is part of the following programs or tracks:
Prepare for the CCENT certification exam (640-822 ICND1).
Our ICND1 training course is your starting point for Cisco certifications, preparing you for Exam 640-822 ICND1 and CCENT certification. The course includes an ICND1 Self-Paced e-Learning CD, live post-course lab time, and an 640-822 ICND1 exam voucher. With our expanded lab equipment, world-class certified instructors, and enhanced content, you will build a solid foundation for Cisco's associate-level certifications.
In this comprehensive five-day course, you'll develop a practical understanding of the operation of modern TCP/IP networks built with Cisco hardware. As you learn the commands and techniques used to troubleshoot host connections and interact with Cisco switches and routers, you'll also practice backing up and restoring configuration files and managing network equipment.
Our ICND1 course includes:
- Free exam voucher for 640-822 ICND1
- Free ICND1 Self-Paced e-Learning CD
- An enhanced lab topology, including two routers and one switch, that represents a real-world network
- Enhanced content that exceeds standard authorized Cisco content and is taught by world-class certified Cisco Systems instructors
- Five e-Lab credits for lab practice during the week following class
- Access to Self Test Software's exam prep products
- An unrivaled guarantee
Why Global Knowledge?
Our sophisticated ICND1 lab environment guarantees that you and your lab partner will have a full set of equipment, including two 2611XM Multiservice Routers running 12.4(5b) Advanced IP Services and a 2950 Catalyst Switch running 12.1(22) IOS CRYPTO Services, for your use the entire week. No other training provider in North America provides you with a dual router set up like ours.
To ensure the most real-world experience possible during your time in class, each team has dedicated routers set up to act as a Frame Relay switch, making each pod completely independent. Every router has multiple serial interfaces that can be configured for HDLC, PPP, or Frame Relay and multiple Fast Ethernet interfaces to support different combinations for forwarding paths. The switch is interconnected to the core through multiple interfaces so you can practice on VLANs, trunking, STP, RSTP, PVST+, etc., as needed for the exam. And, with the additional interfaces, you have the flexibility to create additional networks, access lists, or routing capabilities.
